Responsible Gaming at tekabaj
tekabaj is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent environment for all players in Bangladesh. We believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment — not a financial solution. This page outlines the tools, policies, and support systems we have in place to help every player stay in control.
tekabaj places player wellbeing at the centre of every decision. Our responsible gaming framework is built to identify and support players who may be at risk — before problems escalate.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps in BDT directly from your account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and can only be increased after a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period.
Use the time-out feature to pause your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets — giving you the space to step back and reassess.
If you feel gambling is causing harm, tekabaj's self-exclusion tool allows you to close your account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. We will not send you marketing during this period.
tekabaj's platform monitors betting patterns, deposit frequency, and session behaviour in the background. If unusual activity is flagged, our team may reach out proactively to check in on a player's wellbeing.
Our support team is available around the clock to help players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and all of Bangladesh with responsible gaming queries, limit adjustments, or account closure requests.
1 Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
tekabaj operates with a firm belief that online gambling, when approached responsibly, can be an enjoyable and entertaining activity. Cricket betting, live casino games, slots, and card games like Teen Patti are all forms of leisure — and like all forms of entertainment, they carry a risk of harm when they move from recreation into compulsion.
Our responsible gaming framework is not a regulatory checkbox. It is a genuine operational commitment that shapes how we build the platform, how we monitor player behaviour, how we respond when warning signs appear, and how we communicate with the players across Bangladesh who trust us with their time and money.
tekabaj's responsible gaming approach is guided by four core principles:
- Prevention: We design platform features that make it easy to set limits before problems occur, not after.
- Detection: We use behavioural analytics to identify players who may be showing signs of problem gambling, and we act on those signals proactively.
- Intervention: We reach out to at-risk players, offer tools to pause or restrict their accounts, and connect them with support resources in plain English.
- Recovery: We honour self-exclusion requests without question, suppress marketing to excluded players, and support reinstatement only after a structured, deliberate process.
2 Age Restriction — 18+ Only
tekabaj strictly prohibits access to its gambling services by anyone under the age of 18. This is a non-negotiable policy that applies to every player, in every city across Bangladesh, without exception. Gambling by minors is harmful, and tekabaj takes active steps to prevent it.
Age Verification Process
All players are required to complete identity verification (KYC) before their first withdrawal can be processed. As part of KYC, players must provide a valid government-issued identity document — such as a National Identity Card, passport, or driving licence — that confirms they are 18 years of age or older. Accounts that cannot be verified as 18+ will be suspended and any pending withdrawals will be held pending further review.
Protecting Minors from Access
If you share a device with younger family members — which is common in many households in Dhaka, Chittagong, and other cities across Bangladesh — tekabaj strongly recommends taking the following precautions:
- Log out of your tekabaj account whenever you finish a session, especially on shared or family devices
- Use a strong, unique password that younger household members cannot guess
- Enable device-level screen time restrictions or parental control software to block access to gambling websites
- Never save your tekabaj login credentials in a browser that is accessible to children
3 Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling is not about how much money is spent or how often a person plays. It is about the relationship a person has with gambling — and whether that relationship has shifted from choice to compulsion, from entertainment to escapism, or from recreation to a source of financial and emotional distress.
Problem gambling can affect anyone. It does not discriminate by income, education level, or background. Players in Dhaka, Sylhet, Rajshahi, and across Bangladesh who enjoy cricket betting or casino games are just as susceptible as any other group. Recognising the warning signs early is the most effective way to prevent serious harm.
Warning Signs Checklist
If you find yourself answering "yes" to several of the questions below, it may be time to use one of tekabaj's player protection tools or speak with a support specialist:
Do you find yourself gambling with money you intended for essential expenses such as rent, bills, food, or bKash transfers to family?
Do you feel irritable, restless, or anxious when you try to reduce the amount of time you spend gambling?
Have you tried to stop or cut back on gambling more than once, without success?
Do you gamble to recover money you have already lost — sometimes referred to as "chasing losses"?
Do you hide your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues?
Has gambling caused significant tension in your personal relationships, affected your work or studies, or made you feel hopeless about your financial situation?
Do you feel the need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement or satisfaction?
4 Player Protection Tools
tekabaj provides a full suite of account-level tools that players can activate at any time, without needing to contact support. These tools are designed to put control firmly in the hands of the player. All tools are accessible from the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings.
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month in BDT (৳). The limit takes effect immediately. Reducing a limit is instant; increasing a limit requires a 48-hour waiting period to give you time to reconsider.
Cap the total amount you are permitted to lose within a defined rolling period. If your net losses reach the limit you have set, your account will be automatically restricted from further betting until the period resets.
Set a maximum session duration. When your session reaches the limit, the platform will display a clear notification and, if you choose, log you out automatically. Available in 30-minute increments up to 8 hours.
Enable pop-up reminders at set intervals (every 30, 60, or 90 minutes) that display your current session duration, total bets placed, net win/loss, and a prompt to review your play. Available on both desktop and mobile browsers.
Take a short break from gambling by placing your account on time-out for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, login and all betting activity are suspended. The time-out cannot be cancelled early once activated.
Restrict the maximum single bet amount you can place, regardless of game or sport. This tool is particularly useful for players who enjoy high-variance games and want a guardrail against impulsive large bets during a session.
5 Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive protection tool tekabaj offers. It is designed for players who recognise that gambling has become harmful to them and who want to take a definitive, enforced break. Self-exclusion is a serious, binding commitment — not a casual pause — and tekabaj treats every self-exclusion request with the gravity it deserves.
Available Self-Exclusion Periods
- 6 months — the minimum self-exclusion period at tekabaj
- 12 months — one full year away from the platform
- 3 years — for players who need a sustained, long-term break
- Permanent — irreversible account closure with no reinstatement pathway
What Happens When You Self-Exclude
- Your account is immediately locked — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets
- All pending withdrawal requests are processed and paid out to your verified payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account)
- Your account is removed from all marketing lists — you will receive no promotional emails, SMS messages, or platform notifications for the duration of the exclusion
- Any active bonuses or free bet credits are forfeited at the time of self-exclusion
- tekabaj will reject any new account registration attempts made using the same identity documents, email address, or mobile number during the exclusion period
Reinstatement After Self-Exclusion
When a self-exclusion period (other than permanent) expires, reinstatement is not automatic. You must submit a written reinstatement request to [email protected]. tekabaj applies a mandatory 7-day reflection period between receipt of a reinstatement request and account reactivation, to ensure the decision is considered and not impulsive. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances.
6 How to Request Help

Identity Confirmation
Our support team will confirm your identity using the details registered on your account — your username and registered email address or mobile number. This step ensures that only the account holder can activate protective restrictions.
-
3
Tool Activation
Once identity is confirmed, your requested tool is activated immediately. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address. For self-exclusion requests, we also confirm that your account has been locked and removed from all marketing lists.
-
4
Withdrawal of Remaining Funds
If your account holds a balance at the time of self-exclusion or account closure, tekabaj will process a withdrawal of those funds to your verified payment method. This typically takes 1-3 business days depending on your payment provider (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank).

Follow-Up Support
tekabaj's support team is available 24/7 if you have questions about your restriction, need to check its status, or want to discuss upgrading to a more protective option (e.g., moving from a time-out to a full self-exclusion). We are here to help at every step.
7 Support Resources
tekabaj is not a counselling organisation, and we recognise that our support team is not a substitute for professional help. If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, we encourage you to reach out to a qualified professional. The following resources provide confidential, non-judgmental support.
Our own support team is your first point of contact for any gambling-related concern on the tekabaj platform. We can activate limits, process self-exclusions, provide account history for self-assessment, and answer any responsible gaming questions you have. Available 24/7. Contact: [email protected]
If you believe your gambling behaviour is affecting your mental health, relationships, or financial stability, we strongly recommend speaking with a licensed counsellor or therapist. Professional counselling for behavioural issues is available in major Bangladeshi cities including Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, and Khulna. Your GP or a trusted healthcare provider can provide a referral.
Sometimes the most effective support comes from people close to you. If you are comfortable, speaking openly with a trusted family member or friend about your gambling behaviour can be a powerful first step. Family members who are concerned about a loved one's gambling are also welcome to contact tekabaj's support team — we will advise on steps that can be taken with or without the player's direct involvement.
8 Safer Play Tips
Whether you are a first-time player or an experienced bettor, these practical guidelines will help you keep gambling in its rightful place — as a leisure activity that you enjoy on your own terms.
Decide in advance exactly how much money you are willing to spend in a session — and treat that amount as an entertainment expense, not an investment. Once your budget is gone, stop. Never top up from savings or money earmarked for essentials.
It is easy to lose track of time during an engaging cricket match or a slots session. Use tekabaj's session time limit or reality check reminder tools to keep yourself aware of how long you have been playing.
Chasing losses is one of the most common patterns that leads to problem gambling. If you have reached your session budget, accept the outcome and walk away. There is always another day to play, and no single session defines your overall experience on tekabaj.
Step away from the screen at regular intervals. A short break every hour helps you stay clear-headed, reassess your session objectively, and avoid the tunnel-focus that can lead to impulsive decisions during long gaming sessions.
Avoid gambling when you are tired, stressed, emotionally upset, or have consumed alcohol. Impaired judgement leads to poor decisions. Gambling should only take place when you are fully in control of your faculties and thinking clearly.
Gambling outcomes are determined by chance. There is no strategy, system, or "lucky streak" that guarantees a win. Treat every session as entertainment with an uncertain outcome — enjoy the excitement, but never rely on gambling as a source of income.
